I changed my administrator account to standard account by mistake...

Hello

My Vista Home Premium has 1 account, an administrator account. I had the a/c turned off comments. By mistake I changed this 1 account for a standard account. Now every action that requires an administrator account is showing me a promt asking a computer ASP.Net account... password.

I think that this asp.net account I had deleted or removed a year ago. I can not okey this prompt, I don't know what password to enter. So now that I'm stuck, I can't do something that requires admin rights.

Help, please!

Thank you

Karl

Hi, I'm having the same problem, I remember I changed my administrator password and I forgot.

You do not have the same problem as redhalls.

You have changed a new password and you forget what is the new password. Yes?
If so, remember your old password?
If Yes, try to use this tutorial:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/how-to-regain-access-to-your-administrator-account-in-Windows-Vista-using-system-restore/

IMPORTANT NOTE: this works in cases where you changed your password to something new and then has forgotten or deleted a user account by accident. So that this works, there must be a restore point from the system during which logging has managed on behalf of problem for the benefit of other people looking for answers, please mark the suggestion as answer if it solves your problem.
